BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Saosin formed in Newport Beach, CA in 2003 and released their debut EP Translating the Name the same year. Original lead singer Anthony Green left the band the following year when they decided to sign with a major label (Capitol Records), and vocalist Cove Reber stepped in to take his place. The band released a self-titled EP with Reber in 2005, and in 2006 they released their self-titled debut album to a No. 7 spot on the Top Rock Albums chart. The band spent the next several years touring extensively, including two stints on the Taste of Chaos Tour as well as tours with Senses Fail, Alexisonfire, and Poison the Well. Following the 2009 release of their sophomore album In Search of Solid Ground, the band parted ways with Reber, kicking off a search for a new frontman that kept fans guessing over the course of several years. The waiting paid off when Anthony Green rejoined the band in 2014, thrilling both longtime and recent fans with the announcement of tour dates in celebration of the reunion. Saosin with Anthony Green started penning new material together imeediately, generating massive excitement among fans for the group's upcoming shows.
The sound quality of the show was exceptional, as well as the stage performance and special affects. I came for a show that would bring back memories well satisfying the old and it did everything and more, it was great seeing one of my favorite back in action again.
Astronoid and Saosin, both put on an unforgettable performance! 10 out of 10!
It was my first time seeing Saosin live and it was better than expected. Anthony and the guys put on a great show. And so did Astronoid.
Saosin was great! They definitely put their all into the show, was awesome! The venue, (The Underground at Fillmore Charlotte) had the audio volumes all messed up. Could barely hear the vocals at times, that was pretty disappointing. Had the vocals way too quite! Their drinks are way too expensive, even for a concert venue they are high! Really frustrating to pay $25 per drink at venue and them not even have good audio setup!
My husband and I took our teenage daughters for their first show, and we all enjoyed it. Great venue and great band.
Everyone was disappointed and honestly rightfully so. They did not play a single old song that are the most popular. I had fun because of my friends, super underwhelming.
First all I will state that Saosin sounded great! That's the only positive I can say. They were the headliner and played a total of 11 songs and were on stage for less than an hour. Tickets with fees were just over $40 a piece and you get less than an hour? I attend over 25 concerts a year for over 15 years on average and I have never had a headliner play that short. In addition they played zero songs from their previous singer. Couple thing on this one, if you are going to do that please state it to your fans a head of time. Second, say what you will about the self titled album it was by far their most successful and zero songs from it. And as a reward for an 11 song set lasting less than an hour Saosin charges $25 for a tshirt. Greatly appreciated!
Saosin was flat out amazing, the Souvenirs were great, and Seizure (I think) was okay, their drummer was sick nasty.
Had a blast at House of Blues Houston as usual - love this place. The venue is small enough for that intimate feeling, but large enough to hold a good amount of people and not feel like you are suffocating. Saosin was great - first time for me to see these guys. Had an overall awesome time. GA is the way to go every time!
The concert was too FRESH! I can't wait for them to jump back into the studio and come out with some new music!
